Portland, OR (PRWEB) November 20, 2009 -- Hoodman and Trek-Tech are introducing a new toolkit for macro photographers that makes positioning and stabilizing cameras for close up macro photography quick and easy.

Sharp camera focus and flexible camera positioning to get low angle shots are critical to successful macro photography. The toolkit combines two essential macro photography tools, the Hoodman Right Angle Viewer and a Trek-Tech T-Pod table top tripod. The right angle viewer with 360° rotation gives photographers the flexibility to position a camera to get down and up close to the subject matter. The table-top tripod supports cameras with rock solid stability for sharp focus.

Get Down with the Hoodman Right Angle Viewer Creative low angle shots are easy when you have Hoodman's Universal Right Angle Viewer. The eye piece rotates 360° making it easy to set up unique camera angles for creative shots. Built-in diopter adjustments with 1X and 2.5X capability make customizing the optics to suit individual needs quick and easy.

The Hoodman Right Angle viewer fits all Canon, Nikon, and Fuji Digital SLR cameras. Four universal mounting attachments complete the kit so that it never becomes obsolete.
